You ever tried making a decision with anxiety? It’s like trying to pick a Netflix show, you damn scroll for an hour, weigh every damn option like it’s a life or death gamble, just to end up watching the same shit (UFC or Martin) again because the pressure was too much. To anyone else, it looks like indecision. To you, it feels like standing in front of a minefield, convinced the wrong click can kill you or at least ruin your whole fcking night.

Are you single? Dating you is hella hard, have you ever dated you? Well you should date yourself. Not like that, listen. Take yourself on a date. It just means getting back to you. I’m saying Fall is the perfect season to start making love to yourself. Fall is a mood. Making love to yourself doesn’t mean candles and a fire playlist, get your head out the gutter, ya freak, you have to romance your own damn life, do it yourself if you care like that be okay with being alone.

There is nothing crazy about it. Treat yourself how you want to be treated. 3 ways to make love to yourself: 1) Take yourself to brunch, order bottomless mimosas, and hog the good side of the booth. Zero sharing. 2) Wear that outfit you “save for special occasions” and spray on some cologne or perfume. Fck that, Tuesday is special enough. 3) Protect your energy, Say “no” like that shit is a super power. Protecting your energy is sexier than any lingerie, fck that.

It’s October so you know what that means. Next week we kickoff the 4-Part “Fck Cancer” Series, you will get real stories, real life questions answered, real survivor voices, and raw truths about diagnosis, treatment, aftermath, and hope. Packed with interviews and coping tools, it’s not pink washed inspiration, it’s the unfiltered reality of living with and fighting cancer. #FckCancer

Good grief. “Peanuts” turns 75. Charles Schulz is said to have drawn heavily on his own life, capturing humor and anxieties in simple scenes of children, a dog, and a bird. He produced strips until his death in 2000, creating nearly 18,000 installments. Peanuts brand still earns about $30M yearly. Hats off to you “Charlie Brown, your head is too darn round.”
